That's TINY, but also very good too.  :thumbsup: :bow:

Unless you have 2/1 scale hands of course......  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Beautiful model, superb finish :wub:. I still find the Komet almost unbelievable. I found Spate's book very informative as first hand experience. I think it was just the embryonic rocket and highly sensitive fuel that made it so dangerous, the design itelf was sound.

Marketing idea: Put a stick up the rear and fill it with little balls. Instant rattle for toddlers, with wings to gum/chew ;D.

Delightful - and the Luxembourger markings make it that bit different.

Yes, will stand out from the crowd.

Great build. The paint looks awesome ! Really like the colour combo and the markings. The cockpit layout is nice as well....but the more I look at it, the more I imagine it with the front canopy faired over and returned to a single seater  :thumbsup:
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
Vive les Canadiens !

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thank you!

Captain Canada, I have a second kit of the Komet, that will be monoplace of course...  ;)
